Chapter 1153: Battle of Seven Star Island (4)

At this distance, with this kind of dense artillery fire, no ship could turn around calmly, and with a salvo coming down, the Zheng family sailors lost thirteen ships in the front, six of which sank quickly, and the remaining seven were on fire and had lost their combat effectiveness.

And they also gave Zheng Zhiguan time to change the direction of the fleet, because it took more than two minutes for the Wusong Naval Division to reload the gun.

But this time was not enough for the Zheng Jiashui Division to complete the change of direction and escape from the range of the Wusong Shui Division's gunwales.

Zheng Zhiguan could only adopt the same method as Wang Yilin, and took the initiative to step forward with medium-sized warships to gain time for the retreat of the capital ships.

It's just a newspaper and a newspaper, a newspaper that hasn't even been a night.

After the third round of shelling, the ships of the Zhengjia Naval Division were seriously damaged, and they were close to thirty percent, but most of them were medium-sized ships, and the capital ships lost three of them in a sudden manner except for the first round of shelling, and the other capital ships changed direction and escaped from the range of the Wusong Naval Division's utilization guns.

The sea was full of smoke and a mess, accompanied by the cries of soldiers who had fallen into the water, like hell on earth.

In fact, at this time, it should have been the end of this naval battle.

From the strategic stances of the two camps, this naval battle has exceeded the original scale by this time.

If the fight continues, both sides will be unbearable.

Six of Wang Yilin's sailors were sunk, and three of them were still burning in the sea behind them, and the fire was difficult to completely extinguish in a short time, not including the more than a dozen warships and hundreds of sailors who were hit in the waters of Taishan.

For Wang Yilin's department, nearly half of the casualties were already lost.

And the Zheng family's sailors, the losses at this time were even greater, and more than a dozen warships in the waters of Taishan were originally from the Zheng family and were captured by Wang Yilin.

At present, he was suddenly caught off guard by Wu Song's naval division, and had already lost three capital ships and more than thirty medium-sized warships.

It is equivalent to thirty percent of the number of ships chasing the sailors.

Can you still fight?

Naturally, you can fight!

Hatred can blind people's minds, and when it comes to this, there is no longer a trade-off between pros and cons, and there is no humanity at all.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Zhang Mingzhen, at this time on the battlefield, I'm afraid the only one who is still calm is him.

It is also the person who holds the initiative on the battlefield at this time.

But Zhang Mingzhen felt guilty in his heart, and the moment he saw the only eleven scarred warships left in Wang Yilin's department, Zhang Mingzhen felt deep self-blame.

The reason for this is that my previous judgment was wrong.

This cognition made Zhang Mingzhen feel sorry for Wang Yilin.

This guilt is finally manifested on the battlefield.

When the Wusong Naval Division opened the first round of salvos, Wang Yilin's fleet took the lead in passing through the turning point of Qixing Island, and the first time he saw the Wusong Naval Division, Wang Yilin immediately ordered to turn sharply to the east!

At that time, whether it was Zhang Mingzhen or Zheng Zhiguan, they all discovered the tactical movements of Wang Yilin's remnants, but they were not surprised.

They all believed that Wang Yilin wanted to lead the remnants out of the battlefield.

Zheng Zhiguan was suddenly bombarded by Wu Songshui at this time, and he was already dazed, how could he have time to pay attention to it?

Therefore, the eleven warships in Wang Yilin's remnants have become forgotten, or at least ignored, spectators.

But Wang Yilin had a plan, he ordered eleven warships to turn sharply to the east, which was to dig a pit for the Zheng family's sailors. Zero Long Literature Network

Under Wang Zhiren's personal rumors, Wang Yilin's water battle tactics are good, and he has already keenly judged the reaction of the Zheng family's sailors when they encounter a sudden salvo strike from the Wusong sailors.

In other words, Wang Yilin guessed Zheng Zhiguan's coping strategy.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that Wu Songshui appeared from the south side of Qixing from west to east, and Zhengjia Shuishi pursued Wang Yilin from north to south.

At the southeast corner of Seven Star Island, the two sides encountered.

Wu Song's water division is prepared, while Zheng's water division is defenseless.

In addition, the range of Wu Songshui's gunsoft guns is nearly thirty percent higher, in this case, if Zheng Zhiguan insists on getting close and firing at each other, the final result must be casualties.

Because the extra thirty percent of the firing range was enough for the Wusong Naval Division to sink the enemy ships that rushed up one by one by shooting targets.

Although the number of ships of the Zheng family's naval division on the battlefield is more than that of Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yilin combined.

But the time is not on the side of the Zheng family sailors, they want to close the distance of the warships and start hand-to-hand combat and shoot each other, the Zheng family sailors have no time to spread to the left and right, because in the process of scattering, with the Wusong sailors as the center of the dots, the frontal arc fan-shaped area is the range of the Wusong sailors' guns, which are scattered to the left and right, for a long distance, and they still can't escape.

Moreover, even if they desperately escaped, the warships left in the frontal area must have all been sunk, so what is the power of the warships that escaped?

Therefore, Wang Yilin quickly ruled out Zheng Zhiguan's option, because Wang Yilin had already learned from Chen Quinoa that Zheng Zhiguan might collude with Dolgon and had the will to provoke Wu Zheng and Zheng Chenggong to fight at sea.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess what kind of reaction Zheng Zhiguan will make-follow the method he used before, break his arm to survive, abandon part of the warship, and cover the withdrawal of the main force out of the range of Wusong Sailor's gun.

So, Wang Yilin ordered a sharp turn to the east.

Why go east and not west?

Because the west is Qixing Island, unless Zheng Zhiguan doesn't want to live anymore and takes the boat to hit the island, otherwise, he has only one direction to choose - east.

During the time of the three rounds of shelling by the Wusong Water Division, the remnants of Wang Yilin had already sailed more than ten miles eastward, and then slowed down and turned around and slowed north.

Slow, very slow indeed, is the reason why the sail does not fall.

Why not drop the sails?

It is to be able to adjust the direction of the sail at any time and accelerate it.

This kind of deployment has already made Wang Yilin's plan very clear.

Blood debt, blood payment!

Right or wrong, win or lose.

Whoever kills me, I will kill yours, this is the most primitive rule, but it is the truth on the battlefield.

Don't be kind on the battlefield, because that would cost you your life. These words were taught by Wang Zhiren to Wang Yilin since he was a child.

Zheng Zhiguan would never have imagined that he had paid the loss of thirty percent of the warship and escaped from the gunfire range of the Wusong Water Division, but plunged headlong into Wang Yilin's ambush circle.

In the words of later generations, Zheng Zhiguan's mentality suddenly collapsed.

Because Wang Yilin's eleven ships are not big, the two capital ships are smaller than the Zheng family warships, and the cannons are not as many as those on the Zheng family warships, but the cannons are new guns with a long range.

Imagine what it would be like to fire a salvo at a target on the front with the guns on the side of eleven warships?

There was no way to fight back, and the poor bow gun could not reach it at all, and could only fight four or five miles, only half the distance between the two sides.

Later, there was a Wusong water division in his west side of the roundabout pursuit, the front by Wang Yilin head-on blocking, the most serious thing is that can no longer change the direction, can only be beaten, because no matter how to change the direction, will be pointed at by the enemy's gun, the difference is either Wu Song water division, or Wang Yilin.
